An indiscernible voice speaks.
“You are never going to escape from me,” said the disembodied voice. It was rather grating and adenoidal, as if he was crying profusely and it caused all the blood to retreat from my head. A funny tickling feeling of apprehension went from the area of my lungs down to my lower abdomen. I was stuck in a precarious position, tied to a chair with a rope with my hands hung up from a metal loop above my head. Who on Earth was this person, and why wasn’t he showing himself to me? Frankly speaking, I didn’t want to know what he looked like because I pictured him as every other notorious and boisterous looking criminal.

I wish you would look past all the little things I do and understand how much I love you and want to keep you happy. I need you and I know for a fact that you feel the same way about me. I would honestly do anything to make it up to you and I want you to help me turn over a new leaf.”
And he was right. I did love him. With him my smile met my ears and I never felt lonely accept for those times where I wasn’t able to spend time with others. Yet I never really dreaded his presence. He always supported me, lent me a shoulder to cry on and did countless other adorable deeds that I never acknowledged. I felt like the most terrible person alive and would be extremely happy if the ground swallowed me up right then. I didn’t want to be tied down by him but a part of me wanted to believe that he would change himself to please me.
A spasm of tension and worry crossed his face. A stressed line formed in his eyebrows. He was chewing on his lips and his eyes haunted with some inner anxiety, his face taut and drawn. He was awaiting my answer which felt like as if time stood still I had a million pairs of turbulent eyes staring right into my soul, judging my every action and
All these words, worming their way through to his brain. Writhing in his thoughts. Screaming out at him, lashing him with their venomous burdens. Each word causing him to sink further into the darkness. He cursed at them, cried out at them.
a voice yelled from somewhere. I looked up at the ceiling. Will it collapse and bury us? Lucie and I clutched each other. The baby cried.”
The look in her eye that said, "We need to talk," was both clear and cryptic not to mention, scary. As she reached for his hand, time slowed and his vision sharpened. He saw a map of her experiences in the palm of her hand, her life's story written in the countless
Comparing Speeches Many civil rights leaders have spoken out about their controversial views of how to address injustices. For instance, during the Civil Right Movement, Kathie Amatniek and Harvey Milk both spoke to voice that their societies that are directing injustices towards gays and women.

I wish I could bring her back to you. And Ron….. I took so much from you. I’m sorry. I know you probably don’t want my love, but you have it.”
Where there were voices, there was escape. "HELP!" I shouted, hoping they would hear me. "Holy shit there's a person down there!" a feminine voice exclaimed.
I did not care if I didn’t see him often, I wanted more time to myself. I stopped trying to fix our arguments and always chose myself over him. Deep down I knew we were not going to last very much longer, I just held on for the least bit of hope that we could make
I begin to get frightened as I turn the corner to a fogged out jail, seeing prisoners banging on the cells, and trying to touch us, but as I turn the next corner, a prisoner comes out of nowhere, and scares me out of my shoes. I fell straight to the ground in shock. My heart suddenly just dropped in fear. My parents began to start laughing hysterically because of my fear. Thankfully, I was able to make it out alive and well, but I was definitely shaken up.
There is no saving yourself from a man in its throes. Roy’s face was haunted and wild. The cords of his neck muscles were like cables; his lips made a hard gash. The unceasing blows were fueled by a need to hurt me that was greater than his own need for oxygen or even freedom. His need to hurt me was greater even than my own desire to survie.
My heart would palpitate while my skin flushed. I could feel myself getting hotter and more nervous as thoughts raced through my head. They weren’t connected, but they felt tied together, stuck. I felt as if my life was on a video reel but the sounds were distorted, and the film was held together by a shaky hand. My teacher looked at me, saying something but all I heard was unintelligible speech, the other students were staring at me while I prayed silently for a sinkhole to open up and remove me from the situation entirely.
Life is like a roller coaster -- with many ups and downs. The speaker of the intense story in the poem “In the Well” by Andrew Hudgins literally experiences one of life’s “down’s” as his father lowers him down into a well in order to rescue his neighbor’s lost dog. The speaker tells his story as he “could taste” his “fear” (4-5). He is closely surrounded by “dark” and “rot”, and then he hits his head and tastes blood (6). As the speaker goes through his story, he illustrates how he faced his fear and rescued the dog, but as he hauled it up, the dog died in his arms.
It was than she noticed how hard Jack was staring at her. She had no idea what he wanted, but wasn't about to be intimidated. She returned his stare for a short moment before turning away unafraid of any threat the man could become. In truth she figured he was just as confused or questing as much as she was. It seemed she did so just in time as their task was set before them and the timer started.
The Reprimand “If you can’t behave like a proper young lady, then you shouldn’t look like one either, should you?” Rochelle began to panic. Her father’s grip on her left arm was like a vice. He forced her across the room and slammed her into the vinyl dental chair.
I leaned back and turned my head so I could see him. Yet, he tensed when our eyes met and he glared at me, so I leaned forward so I was standing up straight and turned to the right and began to follow the path. I could see some Scarlet Carnations as we walked away from the sign. We walked in silence until we approached a black metal gate.
It is 2012 and I have somehow gotten myself in the stranglehold of a classmate of mine. I fruitlessly wriggle to get free but only to feel the hands around my neck getting tighter and my panic setting in. Ignorant of how serious the situation was becoming, the kids around us were giggling and pointing. Noise started to become vague. My heart started to beat faster and louder.
